Beauty samples for changing skin
Trying a sample first can make choosing makeup and skincare much easier — especially when shade, texture and skin feel matter. Adorn samples use the same formula as the corresponding full-size product, in a smaller amount so you can test the product before committing to a full size or refill.
Why sample first
Samples are particularly useful for foundation, concealer, moisturiser, serum and face oil because they let you assess shade, finish, texture and comfort on your own skin. For refillable products, sampling first can also help you feel more confident before investing in the full-size container and future refills.
Foundation and complexion samples
Use foundation samples to compare formula and shade in natural daylight. Apply a small amount along the jawline and allow it to settle before deciding. If you want to compare several complexion options at once, the Foundation Shade Finder is the easiest place to start.
Skincare samples
For skincare, choose samples by the job you want the product to do rather than by collecting several treatments at once. Start with one cleanser, moisturiser, serum, oil or mask that best matches how your skin currently feels.
For mature, dry and sensitive skin
Changing skin often responds better to a simpler routine and lighter layers. Sampling lets you test how a formula feels on your skin before adding it permanently to your routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Adorn samples the same formula as the full-size product?
Yes. The sample is taken from the same product formula as the corresponding full-size version; the main difference is the quantity and sample packaging.
Why sample before buying a refillable product?
Refills make the most sense once you already know a product works for you. Sampling first can reduce the chance of choosing the wrong shade, texture or formula before buying a full size and refill.
How should I test a foundation shade?
Apply a small amount along the jawline in natural daylight. A good match should blend into the surrounding skin without a strong visible edge. If your face and chest are different tones, compare the shade against both before deciding.
How many uses will I get from a sample?
This varies by product and how much you apply. Samples are intended to give you a short trial of the formula rather than a full treatment period.
